Wedding Photography - Forbes NSW & Beyond

Let me capture images that speak to your heart

Weddings are a blur. Let’s make sure the good bits stick.

Obviously the kiss and the cake, but also your nan’s squeeze on your arm, the look on your face when you see each other, and that one mate who always ends up barefoot. Those are the moments worth keeping.

How it all goes down

4. The Big Day (and What Comes Next)

You enjoy the day. I’ll be there with cameras, snacks, tissues—whatever’s needed. After the confetti settles, you’ll get a sneak peek, then your full gallery (and anything extra) within 6–8 weeks.

1. Let's Chat

Once you reach out, I’ll check your date and we’ll have a quick chat to make sure we’re a good fit. You deserve to feel totally at ease with whoever’s holding the camera—it makes all the difference.

2. Make It Official

If it’s a yes from both of us, I’ll send through a booking form, contract, and an invoice for the $400 non-refundable deposit to secure your date.

3. The Fun (and Planning) Bit

From here, we stay in touch. I’ll check in a few times, and we’ll have a final catch-up to run through timelines, details, and any last-minute stuff. You’ll always know what’s happening, and I’m just an email away if anything pops up.

My investment guide has everything you need to know - what’s included, how it all works, and how much it costs. It’s designed to keep things easy, calm and clear, so you can get excited about what really matters: celebrating the magic out of this moment (and having the photos to match)!

Photos that stick with you

One day, these
won’t just be photos.
They’ll be  heirlooms.

Proof of the way he looked at you. The way your baby fit in your arms. The way your family laughed in that golden light. This is more than a shoot — it’s your life, your people, your memories, wrapped up in something real and lasting.

When the moment’s gone, you’ll have this.

Love notes from lovers

Love notes from lovers

Amazing!

"Sarah has been fantastic throughout the whole planning of our wedding - putting up with silly questions and answering anything and everything I send her way.. When we had our engagement session - she was so easy going and we had a great time getting to know each other and feeling so relaxed through the whole session - I’m not sure who laughed more - her or us... Sarah captured our Wedding Day perfectly - she ensured you could see and feel the love of the day in her pictures, that will be cherished forever. She is by far the coolest person to get to do photos."

- Lou + partner

Why choose me?

I’m all about pops of colour, adventure, and the beauty in the little details. Weddings are a celebration, a ritual, a gathering of loved ones, a dinner, a dance, laughter, tears, smiles, memories, a future, a party, a dress, awesome food, dancing and 1000 other tiny details.... BUT most simply, a wedding is between two amazing humans, claiming their love to the world and that they choose each other forever.
Simple.

That is all that matters, your wedding should reflect who you both are as individuals. And II'll take the photos to help you remember that.

I absolutely adore living a creative life.  I couldn't do anything else!

Where are you based? Do you travel?+

I'm based in beautiful Forbes, NSW, and yes—I absolutely travel! Interstate, overseas, I do it all. However I only accept around five destination weddings each year.

How would you describe your photography style?+

Authentic, natural, and fun. I focus on capturing real moments, genuine emotions, and all the little details that make your story yours. Photos never feel like a chore.

How long have you been a photographer?+

Over 15 years of experience and more than 400 weddings under my belt, you’re in safe, experienced hands.

How can we chat with you before booking?+

If you live nearby, I am SO happy to meet in person. 90% of my clients communicate via email, I do love a phone call to get to meet you prior to your wedding but that’s totally not necessary.

How soon should we book in our sessions?+

It’s never too early. Weddings book out 18 months in advance, reach out as soon as you have locked in your date to see if I'm available!
